Disraeli said: 'The great secret of success in life is to be ready when your day of oppor- tunity comes.N This statement should give our young people much food for thought today. In almost every- one's lifetime, there have been several oppor- tunities that have presented themselves. Some have taken advantage of them, others have failed to take heed. Failure to take advan- tage of those opportunities that present them- selves can be laid to several reasons--among them the lack of being prepared. A school should be concerned with estab- lishing those things that help to prepare one for that opportunity--to mention a few: Q15 Character, C25 Courtesy, C31 Co-operation,Chl Education. The world of today requires character a d confidence. We need to instill these attri- butes in our young people. The community and the world in general requires service and a large part of service is courtesty. Like any successful team on the field, co-operation is one of the most important requisites of to- day's world. Many of its problems today are based upon the lack of understanding which leads to non-co-operation. The success of every business, every enterprise, every insti- tution, every church, and every home, is de- pendent largely upon the harmony or team work of all the individuals concerned. Lastly, education is our business and the more infor- mation boys and girls have in regard to to- dayls problems, in regard to industry, busi- ness and profession, the greater will be their opportunities for advancement and success.
